Centralized crypto exchange OKX has expanded its OKX Wallet to include Solana’s blockchain links, or Blinks, making it accessible across all Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains.

According to the exchange’s August 15 press release, OKX Wallet users can now effortlessly initiate fee-less blockchain transactions, such as staking and swapping tokens, directly from their social media feeds. By sharing unique OKX Wallet URLs (Blinks) on platforms like X and Discord, users can execute transactions with a simple click, eliminating the need to switch between apps.

This feature also allows for seamless non-fungible tokens (NFT) purchases, for example, directly from a social media post.

Now, you can do the same on Ethereum and its Layer 2s!

Note: Blinks are currently available only on desktop.
